There is something about the sight of the ocean that adds a perspective to my life I can’t quite put my finger on. This wide open seemingly endless body of water that overwhelms me with a newness, that is not new at all. Thanks to social media, I know I am not alone in this feeling.… Read More ›

Can We Really Start Over?
I can remember a time when the answer to that question was plain and simple: Yes! Yes, like when we were young and it was acceptable to be in the middle of a game that wasn’t making everyone happy, and someone would yell “let’s just start over!”? And then we all went along with it.… Read More ›
Today Can be Your ‘Someday‘
Someday: That mystical place where everything finally gets done. It’s similar to ‘tomorrow’ but worse in that the things we push off until tomorrow are typically not that important. Someday, though, is where we push everything important and I mean, everything. Things so important that we can’t do it now, tomorrow or even next… Read More ›

I have begun this New Year with great moments of introspection and clarity on who I have been, how I have healed, and who I am becoming. I have filled my pockets with what I have learned, while creating an intention of being fully present and letting go of fixations on where I will land… Read More ›
Skip the Decorating and Create a Nest.
Do you ever wonder what thought process a bird has as it scours the ground looking for just the right pieces to build its’ nest? Or if there isn’t a thought process at all, then how does it work out so perfectly every single time…? I can’t say I have spent much time thinking about… Read More ›
Own Your Stuff
After the completion of another blissful celebration of ‘birthday month’, I was happy to finally sit down and put my feet up. I had spent a month present to everyone that came my way and proactive about calling old friends and asking them to join me in celebrating the month. A month not too be… Read More ›
